| So you learn what the situation in Mexico is.... I just read your post and have a few answers. Yes Mexico has its problems but depending on where you live there can be a lot of tranquility.I have been here about 3 years and I vacation in Europe, South America and the US sometimes.
Mexico probably has the best natural resources in North America and they are largely undeveloped. Why? Corrupt government. Imagine being able to try to be the police of the world as the US tries to do. Imagine a country with only one political party for over 70 years!!! A country of monopoly. Only gas is Pemex. Only phone is Telmex. The Catholic Church is one of the biggest deterents. Get the picture?
The absence of a large middle class. Uneducated Mexico cross the border because of the existence of jobs that lazy Americans do not want to do. Educated Mexicans such as doctors, lawyers, educators wouldn`t think of moving to the US. The US has something called Welfare and General Assistance in some states. It is better for many to collect welfare and food stamps than work for a living.
In Mexico, that does not exist. No work, no eat. That`s why very few illegal aliens get into trouble. They work to help out at home. No holdups, no women walking the streets.Just a low profile.
In Latin culture, the elderly are taken care of and respected. It's very rare your son would want to declare you mentally incompetent to get their inheritance early.
We all get old and frail. Your chances of getting mugged are a lot greater in the US.
Depending on where you reside, a person may want to retire and live the good life. San Miguel de Allende is one place of notoriety. Mexico is a good place to relax for a few years and live large if you plan it well.
The quality of life is on the way up. The quality of life in the US, well are you really better off? |
